Republican Tennessee Rep. Mark Green announced Monday evening that he will retire from Congress following the passage of President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.”
Green serves as the top Republican on the House Homeland Security and was elected to Congress beginning in 2019. He cited an “exciting” opportunity in the private sector as his explanation for retiring from his seat just six months into his fourth term.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from Congress,” Green said in a statement. “Recently, I was offered an opportunity in the private sector that was too exciting to pass up. As a result, today I notified the Speaker and the House of Representatives that I will resign from Congress as soon as the House votes once again on the reconciliation package.”
